Lore & Background
Colors matter in Among Us: players are colorful, armless cartoon astronauts and Impostors look exactly like Crewmates, so players tell one another apart by color. On June 15, 2021, the game added six colors, Rose, Coral, Tan, Gray, Maroon and Banana, with support for 15-player lobbies.
Reader's Guide
Players who rely on the colorblind text can identify others without depending on suit color alone.
The wires task, the first to get colorblind support, is one of the game's basic maintenance jobs.
